I just pulled out the notes where I tested it in the past AND it is a VERY basic controller software no where NEAR as functional as Mach3. IF all you cut were very basic shapes with cam generated Gcode maybe. Programs are very slow to load what loads in M3 in 2 secs takes 30 sec in UCcnc. The toolpath panning is terrible compared to mach3 etc,etc. NOT SAYING it cold not be fixed but WILL it get fixed ??
I would not be in too big of a hurry to jump from the frying pan into the fire. There would be needed a LOT of FUNCTIONAL testing needed to confirm the UCcnc.
(;-) TP
I loaded up one of my larger patterns. Right around 150,000 lines of code and didn't have any noticeable issues with it loading. This was the newest version though. I only do cam so the lack of wizards isn''t an issue for me. I did notice there is a cam tab plugin but I didn't even click on it. I never really use the tool path display because controlling it in mach was always a hassle for me.
I'm going to be carving a straight 6 valve cover pattern next week so that should be a decent test. Maybe you can come up when I get it loaded and you can see it running.
I agree that for some people mach3 still may be a better choice but for me I'm over it. I have to start going in a direction away from Mach and I may as well see if this will work for me considering I have 4 of his controllers:)
